I had my PowerBook G4 17", the revision before the "HD" display version, and I was waking it from sleep when I could tell it was kernel panicing. So I hit the power button to turn it off and it gives off this long, single tone.

What does that tone mean? I've tried the database on Apple but it only brings up PowerMac G3's no matter what search I type. At the moment I'm running a extended hardware test to see if it comes up with anything.

The memory is crucial.com memory but bought through a third party company.
